NASA said a backup radiator on the International Space Station’s Nauka multipurpose laboratory module began leaking coolant and stopped on Oct. 6, changing the environment around the ISS.

Physicists distorted a type of material known as a photonic crystal to divert the path of light much as it would passing through a gravitational field, as described by Einstein's general theory of relativity.

It's impressive enough that our human brains are made up of the same 'star stuff' that forms the Universe, but a wild study published back in 2016 suggests that this might not be the only thing the two have in common.

The 2023 Orionids meteor shower is expected to peak this weekend. Here's how to watch the show.

A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters used data obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) to identify the presence of quartz nanocrystals in the upper atmosphere of WASP-17 b, an exoplanet...

Researchers traced the metals back to rockets and satellites, and believe the objects could be changing Earth's atmospheric chemistry.

New research has improved the accuracy of the parameters governing the expansion of the Universe. More accurate parameters will help astronomers determine how the Universe grew to its current state, and how it will evolve in the future. Challenges in Measurin…

A research group has developed a new method for studying how cancer cells function in softer and stiffer tissue environments. This insight challenges the existing paradigm, opening up new possibilities for research in cancer biology and tissue engineering.

The super-special material graphene continues to surprise and fascinate scientists, this time revealing a rare electronic state termed 'ferro-valleytricity', which occurs when graphene is stacked up in a particular five-layer combination.

The Queen musician, who is also an astrophysicist, described his involvement in the Bennu sample return mission.

Tesla reported its Q3 earnings for 2023 in which the company’s revenues dipped compared to the previous quarter thanks to planned factory shutdowns.
